One of the basic truths of human psychology is that we do not fully know ourselves. If we’re not aware of what’s wrong or how to fix it, this can cause suffering. Like water to a fish, our ways of being can become so ingrained that we do not stop to think about them – unless they start getting in the way. This is when life gets complicated, and this is when we start seeking answers. The art and science of psychotherapy allows you to alleviate suffering through awareness. I work from a relational perspective, so I consider the impact of relationships and experiences throughout life to be formative in shaping an individual. My goal is to help individuals understand themselves, so they can become more aware. As a therapist, my passion is to help people find freedom from what binds them. These barriers often come in the form of how you relate to yourself and others. This can be subtle and difficult to understand without help. My own experiences have made this personal to me. I have pursued various training experiences (in high school, university, community, hospital, and forensic settings) to enhance my ability to effectively diagnose and treat a wide range of patients. I believe in cura personalis, which means cultivating the health of the entire person (mind, heart, desires, personality, abilities, talents, faith, and physical attributes). Understanding your unique set of experiences is key in appreciating your identity and living life to the fullest. My work with patients blends a practical approach to problem-solving with a greater understanding of presenting concerns.
